Short Review

Half expositional before the complicating action strikes to fully develop the point of the story with the three wise men narrative associated with the Christmas setting while emphasizing how socially miraculous and joyfully heartening a wonderful though depressingly subtle buried gem it is by being a unique picture with delicate effects. (B+)
